Playing 2 strikers and 2 CMs has killed us so many times this season.

Injuries forced Moyes to make positive changes to our tactics and formation tonight. Let's see if he's learned his lesson when we have a full squad available...

Rooney has good stats. Just like Mario Gomez had good stats before the 12/13 season when 'some' Bayern fans may have slapped you for even suggesting he should be dropped from the starting 11.

This.

But You just know moyes will attribute kagawas good performance to the fact it was in europe.

Too much shoehorning going on.

[Pro]

no way has rooney had 15 assists.

[Fresh]

The fact is Rooney and Van Persie perform better without each other.

CS, needs to be one or the other, not both with Kagawa on the bench.

Thas was porchy and few others on here

... And I prefer the way we play with lone Rooney than the way we play with lone RVP. Were more dynamic.

[darkman]

Isn't it hilarious that Statman of all people is trying to downplay stats

[Agony]

[O Fenomeno]

The way stats will forever mask performances

[Michel Kane]

It's not even that.

Stats can be used in a positive & negative way.

It's when people consciously use stats without bringing up context that is the problem.

[Horatio Caine]

he's bn playing very well, cant take that from him

Said this the other day

Give kags the number 10 role and let Rooney and RVP swing it out for the no9 shirt

[JOHN DOE]

will never happen

[DRC]

Didnt realise Michael Keane was confirmed to Derby...could potentially faceup against his brother first game

"I think what I've seen from Nani is someone who is a talented player, a Portuguese international, and I hope we can try to get him to show that more often," explained Moyes.

"I thought there were moments when he ran the ball well for us in midweek and he scored a really good goal at the end.

"We're trying to give him the feeling that he is important and I think it's something he himself needs - to get back to that consistency which gives him the reason to say: 'I'm the man. I can do that job regularly'.

"Look, what I've found is he works hard enough at his game. He is happy to do all the leg work and the biggest thing is he has brilliant ability to score.

"His shooting with both feet is almost as good as anybody I've ever seen. He's incredibly talented with his skills and ability. We need to get him to show that more often."

celebrating the punch like a goal

[Agony]

'It’s a long season and we’re going to have to have different combinations for different games but, tonight, Wayne and Shinji Kagawa were very good.'

In the absence of van Persie, Rooney will lead the line while Kagawa will play the trequartista role. The Japanese international's inclusion in the senior XI, though, is not dependent on the fitness of van Persie as, Moyes added, he could shift Shinji to the left.

'Sometimes Wayne might need to play up front and Shinji will play behind. We have to make sure we have alternatives if Wayne or Robin [van Persie] are injured. Shinji was excellent tonight but he's also good on the left.'

He still doesn't get it

[Seydou]

And I pray he doesn't for a long time

Why Scholes troubling pub man like that though?
